Welcome Whimsy Friends to Day 19 of Whimsy's Countdown to Christmas! Only a few more days until Santa arrives :-) Are you ready yet and done with all your Christmas preparations? I actually am (woohoo) and I thought I would start making some Valentines cards. Here's a CAS card I made using the Card Builder - Hearts of Love die set The card measures 4.5 x 5.5 inches. The second layer is 0.5 inches smaller. I cut out the word Love from the second layer and used the negative. To make it really pop I  layered it on to a piece of red card stock. The red heart was cut out from the same red card stock. I then added some burlap string and attached the large heart with a small white cloth pin. I decided to also use the tiny heart. I drew a line using a black Copic multi liner pen, adhering the tiny heart at the end of the line. This gives the effect as the tiny heart would just drop off the large heart. Thanks for stopping by today! Hugs,

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome to Day 6 of the Whimsy Stamps Countdown to Christmas.   December 6th / Saint Nicholas Day is a special day in Germany (and other European countries of course) where I'm from originally. We celebrate this day in remembrance of  historical Saint Nicholas also called Nicolas of Myra or Bishop of Myra and his legendary habit of secret gift-giving. Usually kids will get boots filled with candy, fruit, nuts and small gifts. We always celebrated in the evening of the 6th when I was a child but some already had their boots filled in the night from the 5th to the 6th depending on which part from Germany you are from. This is why I picked Santa's Glee today for my card. I thought it's the perfect image for today :-) He is available in the Whimsy store as digital stamp from the Crissy Armstrong collection.  I also used two dies from the Whimsy Shapeology collection: Merry - large word die and  Hand Sti

Happy Friday Friends! Perfect for the end of the week, a happy little birthday card! :-) This little fella is an image by Krista Heij Barber, called Hugs 'n Fishes and was released with Whimsy's July release. Isn't that the happiest little fish? Sooo cute! I only used part of the image and colored using my Distress Ink Markers. The image was stamped onto Fabriano Artistico hot press watercolor paper - my favorite because it's extra white and super smooth. Here's a close-up. I tried to catch all the shimmer I put on the background 'water' but that's quite difficult. I used a Wink of Stella clear brush pen (I loooove these!) for that. It's so nice and shimmery, wish you could see it. This is the whole image   Distress Markers I've used to color: Wild Honey Dried Marigold Abandoned Coral Barn Door Aged Mahogany Vintage Photo Tumbled Glass Broken China Salty Ocean Mermaid Lagoon Evergreen Bough Peaco

Hey Everyone! Just a little mid week post from me to share a CAS creation I made using Clearly Whimsy's Love is a Flower set and Bold Statements . I stamped the flower using three different shades of ink, starting with the lightest first. The pistil was embossed using silver embossing powder. Then I cut out the flower using the largest die of the Stitched Tag Dies and added some ribbon and a button. I covered my card base partly with DP and sprinkled some aged silver embossing enamel on the blank part. Attaching the tag with foam tape and adding the sentiment and finished is a fairly quick CAS card :-) Hugs and thanks for stopping by!
